Please get to a dyno not so much to find out your power numbers but so you can see your AFRs and/or get a wideband so you can monitor it at all times it never hurts to confirm everything is in proper working order when installing major mods. Dynos shouldn't be much more than $200 if you can afford a SC you surely can afford to get it on a dyno.

We've done extensive testing and tuning on these vehicles before releasing the particular tune out into the wild. But it's always nice to see what your car is doing, and how it's performing, not to mention bragging rights by hitting a dyno. Definitely make sure they check AFRs since they can easily do that.

With the different quality in fuels and large altitudes variances all over North America I think an AFR check would certainly not hurt anything.

Definitely agree, the more information you have at any level can be helpful, and we're big fan of gauges, and some of the new setups out there tying into the nav screens and such make things easy.
Also don't think a dyno is a bad idea, know the power level you're running and of course check the AFRs.

Hey man Josh isn't saying it's a bad idea to monitor your A/F ratio and all the other stuff. But in your first post you really did make it sound like there was something wrong with the Stillen kit. Stillen has done tons of testing and they definitely know what they are doing.

After rereading it your correct it seem facetious I will edit it. I found it hard to think you couldn't agree about confirming safety of an engine. I am glad we agree on that

lol.. sorry.. not trying to be defensive.. but people read stuff and then it's "I heard you guys have problems with AFRs".. LOL
Definitely encourage guys to get out to a dyno.. every car is a little different, and environments are different.. good to see what you're putting down!

im new to fi but trying to learn as much as possible before getting the sc. but i thought this being a turn key kit the tune was pretty on point. which is why i ask (So they did the entire instal with no dyno during the tune?) i thought u just basically downloaded (reflash) the ecu? thanks for any info in advance
